    Tracking number plates sadly works perfectly well on my private car having been flashed and fine arriving by post TWICE in the last four years.
    Where do I look for details on Belgium security forces. Is there a particular story I should google. Thanks

    Unlucky ! :)

    The Belgian security forces used to be able to rotate their plates. I doubt this has changed, but it causes issues when certain fleet providers treat the relationship between vehicle and reg as 1-1.

    Then there's the issue of cleansing data before any migration or integration. Cloning of reg plates did cause a few headaches as well.

    I think this is all OT now, so I'll shut up :)

    Project Fear continues unabated - funded by Blair's millions (all made on the back of the Iraq war).

    .......
    And frankly this seems to be the start of a two year campaign. I agree with Boris - rise up and turn of your TV set.

    And more millions flood in

    Don't blame me, I voted Remain.

    Ah, and in light of such drivel from Blair and Major it could be said that both are guilty of:
    treason

    noun

    mass noun
    • 1The crime of betraying one's country, especially by attempting to kill or overthrow the sovereign or government.
      ‘they were convicted of treason’
    1.1 The action of betraying someone or something.
    No more silly than your quote TBH Mayo.
    Should we discuss democracy again?

    Love Remoaner double standards from Major the Man that shouted down the legitimate concerns of dissenters and framed them baaaastards


    His past work, his EU legacy is crumbling before him and he doesn't like it one bit. The man who's supreme arrogance gave us the ERM mega-crash where masses lost their homes.

    The European Parliament’s influential Internal Market and Consumer Protection Committee is calling for “deep mutual market access” and “a special relationship” between Britain and the EU post-Brexit.
    The Parliament is preparing a detailed statement on the Brexit negotiating strategy to be voted on as soon as Article 50 is triggered. IMCO members have now agreed 16 action points for inclusion in the resolution.
    The points have been approved by negotiators representing the Parliament’s six largest political groups, including members from Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic.
    Included is a statement that the committee “believes it to be in the mutual interest of the EU and the UK to pursue a special relationship…which should include arrangements regarding deep mutual market access in goods and services”.
    The committee also supports the mutual recognition of professional qualifications, continued market access for products where UK and EU standards mirror each other and specifies that there should no lessening of consumer standards by either side following Brexit.
    In addition, it acknowledges that any agreement between the EU and the UK ought to be “mutually beneficial.”
    Conservative Internal Market spokesman Vicky Ford said: “I have always said our future partnership needs to be much closer than the EU normally has with third countries. The recently agreed EU-Canada trade agreement, for example, does not give anything like the level of market access the UK is used to having across EU borders,
    “By calling for a ‘deep’ partnership the committee is advocating significantly more co-operation than the EU has with other third countries, especially on single market issues.
    “This is very significant. If these action points are endorsed by the full Parliament for inclusion in the final text, it will be a major step forward.”

    Rinoa you made me think; The EU values it's free trade deals. It enjoys a massive free trade with it's close neighbour the UK, why on earth would it wish to dismantle it?

    Problem is that the EU Parliament has very limited powers. It's the EU Commission which calls the shots.

    Its a good point. A recent Question Time was characterised by this kind of boorish behaviour in which any comments about the practicalities of the a hard Brexit was greeted with people like Ann Widdlecome interrupting/talking over anyone with a contrary view.

    This sort of intolerance is unacceptable. The attitude that "we won" so anyone who does not sign the pledge of loyalty to the cause must remain silent, undermines democracy. I accept the result but that does not mean I have to agree with everything the Ministry of Brexit says for evermore.
    Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are incapable of forming such opinions.
